Findings and Conclusions ......................................................................... 24 i A. Introduction 1. Purpose of the Addendum to (EAR). This Addendum to the Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) was prepared based on a Chinese version of the Feasibility Study Report (FSR) and Environmental Assessment Table which was approved by Huanggang EPB in 2018 for the new proposed subprojects under Hubei Huanggang Urban Environment Improvement Project (the Project). The Addendum is to be submitted to ADB for review and approval. 2. The project. The Project is the first key urban environmental initiative of the Huanggang Municipality Government (HMG) with nationwide demonstration potential. The project design incorporates lessons from (i) Yi’ai Lake rehabilitation–a recent locally funded initiative, and (ii) other ADB supported lake and river restoration projects in the PRC. The project design was optimized based on best international practices: (i) the need to take an integrated approach to water system rehabilitation, and (ii) the importance of using simulation techniques to predict likely outcomes. The project will also complement the past and ongoing projects which are contributing to reducing pollution in the Yangtze River. Since the drinking water intakes of several cities are downstream from the Yangtze River, the project also contributes to protection of vital drinking water source. 3. Changes have been made to the project scope during the project implementation. During the ADB Inception Mission in November 2015, the PMO proposed the change of sediment dredging method from cutter suction dredging to drain and pump and the sediment treatment method from dewatering and solidification to vacuum pre-compaction. The PMO submitted the Due Diligence Report for Environment of Chiye Lake subcomponent in July 2016. During the ADB Review Mission in August 2016, other 8 changes were proposed by PMO according to the designs. The first Addendum to the EAR was prepared and submitted to ADB in June 2017 and revised according to ADB’s comments. In March 2018, PMO proposed another six changes for the midterm adjustment. Study Report (FSR) and the domestic Environmental Assessment Table completed have been completed in 2018. Please see chapter B for the detailed information of the changes. 4. Environmental Assessment for the Project. An Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS 2009) on the basis of the domestic EIA report that meets the requirements of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) EIA Law (2003) and associated regulations. The EAR was prepared based on two domestic Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) prepared for this project: a planning EIR, and a construction project EIR; and supplemented with information from the domestic Feasibility Study Report (FSR) and the Soil Erosion Prevention Plan (SEPP) for the project. 5. This project is classified as Category A for environment on the basis of ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA), requiring the submission of a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) report. 6. Bases of the second Addendum to the CIEE preparation. This Addendum is prepared primarily based on the information collected from the FSR, Environmental Assessment Table prepared for the new proposed Subprojects. The Addendum was prepared in accordance with both PRC environmental laws/regulations and ADB’s environmental policies. The Addendum preparation also followed both PRC and ADB guidelines on environmental assessment. 2 B. Description and Rationales of Proposed Changes 7. Newly proposed components are located within urban area of Huanggang city, including six subcomponents including Diversion Canal and Culvert Gate of Nanhu pumping station, Wuqi Channle, Sugong River, the East Extension of Qingshui River, the Connection of Dongchang River and Dongtai River and Chiyehu Road. According to the Resettlement Due Diligent Report for the new subprojects, total area of state-owned land occupation will be about 386.6 mu, and 54 households, 205 persons will be affected, while the total area of collective land acquisition will be 13.8 mu, 15 households, 53 persons will be affected. The temporary land occupation will be state-owned with an area of 8.5 mu and there will be no resettlement. Mainly proposed construction contents are illustrated in Table 1. Table 1 Proposed Construction Contents Component Proposed Construction Content Quantity Note Diversion Canal and the Diversion Canal of Nanhu pumping Culvert Gate station L=305m; including the Dongcha River Gate, Dongtai River Gate, embankment of of Nanhu Wuqi Channel Gate, Sanjiu Channel Gate, Kuikou Lake pumping Kuikouhu Gate station The section of Huanggang Vocational College, L=1100m Wuqi Channle Stormwater and wastewater pipeline 1 section reconstruction in Taoyuan street community the east extension of Chushui River to 1.68 km Sugong River Qingshui River the East Extension of Dongchang Avenue to Jiangbei Class I 0.75 km Qingshui Road River the Connection of Culverts construction at the interchange of Dongchang Dongchang River, Dongtai River and 2 Nanhu Avenue River and Dongtai River From Chibi Avenue to Hubin Avenue, (8 Chiyehu Road meters wide, non-motorized road, with 2 2.1 km bridges) 3 8. A comprehensive analysis of the feasibilities of the six engineering subprojects has been undertaken. The technical designs are suitable for local circumstances, topography, and climate (arid desert conditions with long, harsh winters), consistent with strategic and sector priorities, and PRC design guidelines and local regulations. For the more detailed information of the subproject technical designs and analysis, please see report of Technical Feasibility and Sector Analysis of Subprojects which would be submitted to ADB in 2018.

E-commerce adoption and Rural Sustainable Livelihood Development, The Case of Smallholders in China’s Agro-Food Sector Abstract: We investigate the impact of e-commerce adoption on smallholder livelihood in China’s agro-food sector. Based on a sustainable livelihood framework, as well as a survey-based data set that allows us to correct selection biases by using Propensity Score Matching (PSM), we find that the most common approach for smallholders to participate in agro-food e-value chains is to cooperate with local e-tailers and become a e-tailer supplier. Moreover, e-tailer suppliers have more livelihood assets and are in better external e-commerce conditions than traditional suppliers that are not in the e-value chain.

  • Are China's Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province
    sustainability Article Are China’s Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province Hao Jin and Shuai Huang * School of Public Economics and Administration, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-65903686 Abstract: We assessed the sustainability of agricultural water resources in Hubei Province, a typical agricultural province in central China, for a decade (2008–2018). Since traditional evaluation models often consider only the distance between the evaluation point and the positive or negative ideal solution, we introduce gray correlation analysis and construct a new sustainability evaluation model. Our research results show that only one city had excellent sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources, and the evaluation value of eight cities fluctuated by around 0.5 (the median of the evaluation result), while the sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources in other cities was relatively poor. Our findings not only reflect the differences in the natural conditions of water resources among various cities in Hubei, but also the impact of the cities’ policies to ensure efficient agricultural water use for sustainable development. The indicators and methods Citation: Jin, H.; Huang, S. Are in this research are not difficult to obtain in most countries and regions of the world. Therefore, the China’s Water Resources for indicator system we have established by this research could be used to study the sustainability of Agriculture Sustainable?

  • COVID-19 and China: a Chronology of Events (December 2019-January 2020)
    COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events (December 2019-January 2020) Updated May 13, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46354 SUMMARY R46354 COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events May 13, 2020 (December 2019-January 2020) Susan V. Lawrence In Congress, multiple bills and resolutions have been introduced related to China’s Specialist in Asian Affairs handling of a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, that expanded to become the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. This report provides a timeline of key developments in the early weeks of the pandemic, based on available public reporting. It also considers issues raised by the timeline, including the timeliness of China’s information sharing with the World Health Organization (WHO), gaps in early information China shared with the world, and episodes in which Chinese authorities sought to discipline those who publicly shared information about aspects of the epidemic. Prior to January 20, 2020—the day Chinese authorities acknowledged person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus—the public record provides little indication that China’s top leaders saw containment of the epidemic as a high priority. Thereafter, however, Chinese authorities appear to have taken aggressive measures to contain the virus. The Appendix includes a concise version of the timeline. A condensed version is below: Late December: Hospitals in Wuhan, China, identify cases of pneumonia of unknown origin. December 30: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issues “urgent notices” to city hospitals about cases of atypical pneumonia linked to the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. The notices leak online.

  • Modelling the Effects of Wuhan's Lockdown During COVID-19, China
    Research Modelling the effects of Wuhan’s lockdown during COVID-19, China Zheming Yuan,a Yi Xiao,a Zhijun Dai,a Jianjun Huang,a Zhenhai Zhangb & Yuan Chenb Objective To design a simple model to assess the effectiveness of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to different regions of mainland China. Methods We extracted data on population movements from an internet company data set and the numbers of confirmed cases of COVID-19 from government sources. On 23 January 2020 all travel in and out of the city of Wuhan was prohibited to control the spread of the disease. We modelled two key factors affecting the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in regions outside Wuhan by 1 March 2020: (i) the total the number of people leaving Wuhan during 20–26 January 2020; and (ii) the number of seed cases from Wuhan before 19 January 2020, represented by the cumulative number of confirmed cases on 29 January 2020. We constructed a regression model to predict the cumulative number of cases in non-Wuhan regions in three assumed epidemic control scenarios. Findings Delaying the start date of control measures by only 3 days would have increased the estimated 30 699 confirmed cases of COVID-19 by 1 March 2020 in regions outside Wuhan by 34.6% (to 41 330 people). Advancing controls by 3 days would reduce infections by 30.8% (to 21 235 people) with basic control measures or 48.6% (to 15 796 people) with strict control measures. Based on standard residual values from the model, we were able to rank regions which were most effective in controlling the epidemic.
